The secretary of the Farmers Ali
ancc and Cooperative Union ofAmer-
lea ut Waco, Tex, f. b. Warren, Esq.
in late communication to the Times
Democrat suggests that a cooperative
congress be held in the city of Louis
Vile, Ky, or Memphis, Tenn, some
time during the month of January,
1888. Mr.. Warren suggests that the
congress be composed of delegates
from every agricultural and labor or
raniZation in the United States whose
business it shall be TO discuss and form
ulatc Il universal plan of cooperation.
Should this he done and il national
board he elected, it will be composed
of the national executive officers of
each order and State board for each
State. This would bring all close to-
gcther, labor would become more con-
Servative and should the aggregate
membership take an average of one
share Of stock $40 it would produce
a sum of money which would astonish
anyone. This capital discreetly man
aged would cause IL wonderful change
in the labor problem. The Times
Democrat would be glad to have an
expression of opinion from members
of the alliance, union, grange and all
other organizations interested i'll the sue
cess of cooperation as to the wisdom
and feasibility of Il movement of this
sort. Times Democrat.

A correspondent of the Magnolia Ga
zette says: The face of invoices now has
ceased to represent the price of the goods
named Hereunder, and is now but II price
list from which various rebates can be
calculated and these rebates run from five
to fifty per cent, and outsiders can form
no estimate of what goods cost by merely
looking at an invoice. The exhibition OF
an invoice now, will hardly satisfy any
one except very interior and non-reading
farmer, of whom there are still many in

STATE PROPERTY AND TAIAuoE.
During the past quarter OF 8 century the
state has been. erecting public buildings
that Will survive for centuries to COmes
and paying for them, not by issuing bonds,
but by direct taxation. It has built large
asylums for the care of the unfortunate, the
helpless and the insane; is has erected col
leges, universities and schools for the edu-
.aEiOn of its youth; it has provided institu-
ions for the confinement OF the vicious and
the criminal, and for the reformation of the
WayWard, and it is building handsome and
cOmmodioua, though not eItravagsnt, state
house. Its public buildings and grounds,
with their equipment, are worth, at mod
crate estimate, over S5,OSO, Coo.
In the following table the area OF the pub
lie grounds, and value of grounds, buildings
and equipment, are given IN detail:
